I am working on a dedicated file server using RAID-1 and mdadm. I want
to be able to run this box without a monitor and keyboard. Also, it
will not be running 24/7.
Is there any clean way to turn off the box without using the normal
shutdown? Since I will not be using a keyboard/monitor, I need a way
to power down gracefully at the end of the day without first executing
the shutdown command with a keyboard.
I would think that the embedded linux camp would have crossed this
issue by now.
I can think of some kludgy ways to do this, but I would rather not
resort to that.
Thanks,

Probably the easiest way to do this is to have ssh running. Then when
you need to shut the machine down, ssh to it and just issue your choice
of a shutdown command. When ssh shuts down, it will close your
connection to it.
